Overview

This PR transforms the WordPress configuration suggestions in the repository into a fully functional WordPress plugin that enhances security by disabling file editing and modifications in the WordPress admin area.

Changes

Created disallow-file-edit.php

A complete WordPress plugin file that includes:

  • Plugin Headers: Proper WordPress plugin metadata including name, description, version, author information, and GPL v2 license
  • Security Check: Prevents direct file access by checking for the WPINC constant
  • Core Functionality: Implements a function that defines both DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT and DISALLOW_FILE_MODS constants
  • WordPress Integration: Uses the init action hook as demonstrated in the original configuration examples
  • Safe Constant Definition: Includes conditional checks to prevent redefining constants if they're already set elsewhere

Updated README.md

Enhanced the documentation to provide:

  • Clear description of the plugin and its security features
  • Step-by-step installation instructions for WordPress users
  • Detailed explanation of what each constant does
  • The original configuration methods preserved as alternative approaches for users who prefer not to use a plugin
  • License information

Features

The plugin provides the following security enhancements:

  • ✅ Disables the plugin and theme file editor in WordPress admin (DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT)
  • ✅ Prevents file modifications including plugin/theme installation and updates (DISALLOW_FILE_MODS)
  • ✅ Zero configuration required - works immediately upon activation
  • ✅ Lightweight with minimal footprint
  • ✅ Follows WordPress plugin development best practices

Installation

Users can now install this as a standard WordPress plugin by uploading disallow-file-edit.php to their /wp-content/plugins/disallow-file-edit/ directory and activating it through the WordPress admin interface.
